Orange Crush

I have joined in on the Bonnie Hunter Orange Crush Mystery that started on April 1st. Several members of my guild are joining in also, so I'm looking forward to having some local support, if needed. The last mystery that I made with Bonnie, the Carolina Crossroad, turned out fabulous and will be hanging in our Guild Quilt Show this Saturday.

I have started sewing together my dark and light strips to make 4-patches and I used scrappy whites and creams for the lights and burgandy, brown and rust for the darks.

I still haven't decided on my main colors, but his is what I'm thinking- one of these choices. I know that I'm using this orange and either yellows or lime greens for the accent, but the other two I'm undecided on.

I'm retired from my Graphic Design job at The National Group and a full-time long-arm quilter. I'm married and have 2 sons and a daughter, 1 stepson, 3 grandsons, 4 granddaughters, 4 step-granddaughters and a step-grandson.
